Gregg Shorthand New & Revised 1916 Edition Paperback – February 29, 2012

Lots of fun! As a Gregg Simplified writer, it was very interesting to see what this brilliant system looked like early in its development.

Nostalgia

I bought this one and two others thinking they were different. Two of these (this one and the other one that says 1916 on it) are pretty much exactly the same…near photographs of the original book. This one, however, has larger text which makes it a little better. I'll just save the one for my granddaughter so she can learn "secret writing" for her own school work and taking notes when she gets older. I don't know that they use this any longer, but it is certainly a wonderful way to take notes. I'd think it would behoove every professional to learn this skill! I love it.

Took this in high school and Loved loved it, so I can not wait to get to start reading this. So I will try to leave a review in the near future. Have a great day

A quick review by an individual experienced in writing shorthand yielded the view that this book is too limited to be of use to someone really wishing to learn this skill. Her recommendation is to spend more and get a more advanced edition.

Easy to understand, enjoy working with the book. Improving my creativity.

Love this! It is helping me refresh my shorthand skills from high school!!! (1975) Thanks so much

I took short hand when I was in high school and don't remember a lot of it. As a personal project I wanted to renew my short hand skills. The book is self-explanatory, and moves fairly quickly. At times, it moves too quickly in teaching symbols for sounds. However, you do go at your own pace which makes it easier.If you're new to short hand, you might struggle a bit more than if you've had experience with it.
